But it appears that their official split has not put the days of married life behind them.

It was reported Cheryl left her husband after just five months of marriage and they have been recorded having an explosive argument – where the Girls Aloud member can apparently be heard telling Jean-Bernard to leave her home.

The Sun On Sunday have reported that the former X Factor judge fears that the recording will go public, exposing their marriage woes.

The publication have claimed the tape reveals that Cheryl ended their relationship earlier than first believed, and apparently the restaurateur demanded she quit The X Factor.

A source allegedly explained that Jean-Bernard “hated” Cheryl being on the show and that he was apparently “so possessive, he told Nick Grimshaw to ‘get his hands off her backside’”.

The source continued: “By the time Cheryl and JB’s marriage collapsed, their relationship was incredibly volatile.

“They were constantly fighting, both in private and in public, and both felt pushed to the brink.

“Cheryl had realised within five months of marrying JB that she had made a mistake, and she wanted to end things. But she felt under pressure to wait.”

The supposed 45-minute recording captured Cheryl ordering Jean-Bernard to leave the couple’s home, but when he refuses a row is said to proceed, and Kimberly Walsh’s pal apparently has no idea their argument was being recorded.

The source continued: “Both of them had hoped that, now the divorce is happening, they could leave the day behind.
